The 28-year-old Brazilian footballer Ronaldo de Assis Moreira better known as Ronaldinho Gaucho has recently become part of the Italian Serie A leading team Inter Milan.
Ronaldinho’s professional career began to blossom at a very young age as by 18 he participated in his first senior international event in the Copa Libertadores and only one year later was an important part of the Brazilian national team. Short after he transferred to the French Paris Saint-Germain FC during the 2001-2002 season. His time with the French squad was very brief as he soon began to search for new options among which were Manchester United and FC Barcelona. This period is remembered in the football history as one when these two clubs basically declared war to each other in order to obtain Ronaldnho’s services.
By 2003 the Spaniard giant of FC Barcelona paid the sum of £21 million for the Brazilian magician whose skills were just unbelievable as his seniority continue to grow on the football field. Despite having the opportunity to sign for the English team of Manchester Ronaldinho opted otherwise as many of his countrymen including Romário, Ronaldo and Rivaldo had done previously. Without knowing what the future will hold for him the Brazilian began his successful career bringing to the club the Liga title in 2004 and the FIFA World Player of the Year award. In 2006 with Ronaldinho leading his team he managed to have Barcelona crowned as the Liga Champions and only two weeks later the club becomes the Champion League winners after beating Arsenal.
Unfortunately for the young player the 2007-08 season was a dark time for him as he was constantly injured and was not able to live to the standards the club and the fans wanted of him. Barcelona president Laporta began his pursuit to transfer the Brazilian player to either Manchester City or the Italian AC Milan as both teams had persistently assured their interest in acquiring the player.
Less than 24 hours ago the Associazione Calcio Milan or AC Milan paid the amount of £21 million for a three-year deal for the Brazilian player. Now that Ronladinho is part of the Italian leader of the Serie A tournament he will be able to participate in the coming 2008 Beijing Olympic Games an option which had previously been blocked by the FC Barcelona.
Now, it seems things are getting better for Ronaldinho as he feels more than at home in Italy especially after the incredible warm welcome he received at the San Siro Stadium where he stated “I am very happy, after so much time I am eventually here. I am overjoyed to have arrived at [AC] Milan and hope to be able to give everyone so much to cheer about.
If the predictions are not off track we are certain to expect a lot from this exceptional footballer as it seems he feels he now can show the football world he is still a great player and his struggle with the FC Barcelona group has finally come to end.

He is world class but he got to control himself. He is holding the ball way too much and sometime just lost possession. That’s why Kaka is more successful than him doing in the team.
touched for GOD ronaldinho
haha, just practice.
Yes he is still part of Barcelona but he will most likely be transfered out. AC Milan, Chelsea, and Man City are all in the hunt for his services
hes good….the world was expecting a lot from this futboler….now were not even sure if hes gonna play for BRAZIL in 2010, he really went downhill after he came out with his shoes…
the magicain
hes starting to run again man. hes going to be the best again. watch
Yes. Because his greedy brother-manager is offering him to the highest bidder.
nah man he is starting to run again. he’ll play. watch. give hima year or 2 best player in the world. in my opinion. him and xavi and messi the best..
Theres not a chance on earth he will ever be like either player.
If I had to choose I would choose Ronaldinho as Ronaldo spends more time on his tricks & putting on makeup than playing proper football, Ronaldinho also creates chances & uses his tricks to create goals instead of just looking pretty.
Ronaldo always takes the free kicks for United but when does he score?
Ronaldo is a good player but Ronaldinho at his peak made him look average at best, what about Kaka my friend? Or Gerrard, Zidane, Fabregas, Henry, Messi, Rooney???
There are a host of players that leave Ronaldo for dust, football isnt just about looking good watch Kaka glide past people.
I bet your American!
United v Arsenal on Saturday, if you want to see the best club game of football on earth dont miss it!
if you had the chance,, don't forget to take me with you..lol
i was suprised by that also honestly…maybe hes not as unfit as people say he is
It is hard to really know, he looked like it was headed that way a few years ago. Then he looked like he got lazy and has thrown away a lot of the legacy he could have had. If he stays focused on his game, he will at least stay in the top 5 of modern players.
forza madri xD
copa america, i believe.
I was thinking on asking something simular…
I think Ronaldinho is not getting protected like he should from referees, they probably think that he is faking most time and they know how dangerous he is from free-kicks, but sometimes its ridicilous not giving him an obvious foul!!!
